Sounds balmy! We had a high today of -1˚F. I was deeply disappointed the

Oh and these are the tires I would be basing the bike on:
1) Schwalbe Super Moto 622-60
2) Schwalbe Marathon Winter 622-50
3) Surly Knard 3"
So gravel-grinding tours and general use, ice and snow, and mountain trails
ready. Probably would have two wheelsets, with one go-fast and either ice

I hate to let you down, Grant, but I'm not very good at shaving rubber
heels off in one piece, though my second one was much closer than the
first. But if we ever have a major fire in the season of snow when I'm
likely to be wearing these boots, my last thought will be of Grant's lament
for me.
Actually, I think the question of why your boots came with heels is an
interesting one. I honestly don't think the manufacturers put them there to
make male users to look like they are in heat, but a Google search of "why
boots have heels" didn't turn up much in the way of useful info.

Interestingly enough, my 2001 Atlantis does have the tapped fender mount on the

Two ideas:
1) Sheldon fender nuts make adding/removing fenders a breeze.
2) Why not try a 42mm knobby like the Cazadero? Or the 700x40C Clement MSO?
Then you keep the coverage for mud &c.
Bonus: Are you running SKS P50 or P45? I'd say go P50 or P55 if you can.

Braze-ons are super easy to add to a steel bike – not sure about paint,
though. I wonder if a pro like Bilenky could add them and only touch-up
the surrounding area as an option to a full repaint. You might also take
